Good news, another young british player! (unlike some clubs ..for example HULL kr) already gained SL experience with the bulls and would have had more if not been for the broken leg.
we paid a fee for him (so those again asking where the extra sky money is going ..here you go)
19 and represented England at youth level, look forward to seeing him develop into a top SL player with us!
Genuine question this - What's the big deal about signing or producing British players?
I mean at Wigan we produce more than most, but it doesn't give you any extra points when the game kicks off.
I never understand this attitude that signing local lads is best. I just like to see good players play for Wigan, and I don't really mind where they come from.
When Blake Green goes back to Aussie next year we will replace him with a Wigan trainee. All very laudable. But most Wigan fans would rather see a like for like replacement.
